Sensor location considerations:
Before placing and setting up your Water Leak
Sensor 4, consider the following important
factors:
1.
The Water Leak Sensor 4 is intended for
indoor use, only. It should only be used in indoor
environments and within the temperature and

listing and product support page on our website.
2.
While the Water Leak Sensor 4 is waterproof, it
should not be used where
it will always be in water or where it may
frequently be submerged in water. If water level
monitoring is required, consider our Water Level
Monitoring Sensor.
3.
The Water Leak Sensor 4 has water-sensitive
probes or electrodes on both the top and
bottom. When water is on or touches any pair of
electrodes, this creates an electrical “short
circuit” between the electrodes, and the sensor
responds with a water leak alert. The top of the

pair of electrodes. This cupped area is ideal for
catching dripping water from above, such as
under a sink. The bottom of the sensor has two
pairs of electrodes. These are optimized for
detecting water that pools or floods below the
sensor. (See the next section)
